Copy and paste PC vs Mac

With a PC, if i highlight a text with left-button of the mouse, i can paste the text by clicking on right-button mouse (Windows) , or i can paste with left button itself (Linux). With a Mac, how can i do this ?. I have apple mouse connected to Mac book pro, i always need to use command+c and command+v. Is there any way that i can do in Mac like a PC.
Thank you.

I don't want use contextual menus for copy and paste. It will increase my burden. Everyday i play with Terminal application very extensively, and i login to hundreds of servers daily and will do my job through cli. Always doing control+c/v is pain.
Is there any way that i can hi-light a text with mouse and paste it with mouse directly (Like a PC) without using contextual menus or using control+c/v ?
Thanks.

How do you copy and paste on a mac

new mac user switched from the dreaded PC stumbling along trying to figure stuff out and re orient my brain i Know Apple C is Copy and Apple V is paste yet somehow it doesnt go into from one window to the next

The Mac has the best User Interface for casual Users anywhere. To get started, Choose Copy from the Edit Menu in every Application, and use Paste from the Edit menu in every Application. Make sure that is working the way you expect.
Once you get used to the way it is supposed to work, look at those items on the menu for their keyboard Shortcuts, and substitute the Shortcut to speed up your work.

I can't copy and paste on my mac, can't also drag files.

any ideas how to fix this?

When you used Safari reset it clears alot of accumulated data stuff. Perhaps you can do some maintenance proceedures which can help. Here is a link to a tip sheet by user d s store explaining how to do some of these things.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Some to consider would be:
2: PRAM reset
7. Hold Shift key boot for "Safe Mode"
11: Disk Utility > Repair Permissions
12: OnyX cache cleaning
If you want to try to delete the Safari prefs then this would be the way.
13: Corrupt Preferences files
Just be sure to export the bookmarks ( under the Safari file menu) so that you can import them if needed after trashing the Safari prefs

Copy and paste to a JTextArea under Mac OSX

Hello,
Mac OSX users complain about the lack of copy and paste functionality
when they run my small Java application. Unfortunately I don't own a
Mac so I cannot test it or find out where the problem is. When I run the
application under various versions of Linux or Windows I can copy and
paste by using the common keyboard shortcuts ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
Searching the web I found discussions here and there, some very old,
but none of them was realy solved or gave me an idea of what I could
try to change in order to make c&p work under Mac OSX.
So I need a little help. First I'd like to know if copy & paste works when
the app runs as applet or standalone application (the jar file can do both).
And, of course: why doesn't copy and paste work under Mac OSX?
The application can be found here (released under the GPL):
http://transtoba2.seige.net/
And please be mild, it is still in beta state. ;-)
Best regards
Leander

The following link helped me understand an issue with copy and paste
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-12078
It seems to be down to the L&F you are using and how the key bindings are mapped.
In summary
OSX 10.4 , Safari and Firefox
To copy/paste in the Applet � Ctrl-C , Ctrl-V
To paste a value from Altio into the OSX environment use ^ V (^ is the Apple key)
To paste a value from OSX into Altio use Ctrl-V
Hope this works for you

Can I simply copy and paste an existing library file from XP to a Mac and then copy and paste the music files themselves? Of course, the music files will be in a different location...

Hello Gurus,
I have an aged XP machine with a large music library in ITunes. iTunes will not run any longer (tried uninstalling and reinstalling etc to no avail) but the music files are backed up onto an external drive so all safe. I have purchased a Mac which of course already has iTunes installed and I can copy the music files onto the Mac, but can I simply copy and paste the iTunes library files from the XP machine to the Mac so that all of the playlists, tags, ratings etc transfer, or do I have to start again?
Thanks for the advice.

Sounds like you have a split library. Ideally you would make this portable before attempting to move it to the Mac. See make a split library portable for details.
Perhaps you can get iTunes running on the old box long enough to sort things out...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
You will also want to deauthorize the XP system once everything is working properly on the Mac.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

I able to copy and paste files from external hard drive to mac, but not the other way around. Please suggest. Thanks

Hi Sara. Tanks for responding. If I cannot figure this out (I was up

Here are two files you can check on/help me with. When I try again, it
comes up 'an error has occurred when trying to access the service.'
Please advise.

Shortcut-Bug in Bridge CS6 for Mac / Bridge cant' copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6, the shortcuts or copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work. Bridge CS6 and ACR 7 are very good and meet my expect ions or needs - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.
It would be nice, if you could forward this to Adobe engineers that they can fix it.
Thanks so much!

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Copy-and-paste table row results in hang in Contribute 6.5 Mac

Am running Adobe Contribute 6.5 for Mac on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Cannot copy-and-paste a table row from one page to another without having Contribute hang. Get spinning multi-colored beach ball and have to eventuall Force Quit Contribute.
This worked correctly in Contribute 3 on OS X 10.7.x Lion.
Any suggestions? Any Adobe engineers who have seen this behavior?

Can you try restoring default preferences of Contribute. Please refer to the link below:-

I want to copy and paste a chart from an email into Pages on MAC. I only get the text. Not the chart.

I recieved an email that included a chart that I want to put in a document. When I copy and paste the chart in Pages it only shows the text without the chart. This shouldnt be too hard but I have no idea why it will not copy this in the format or image that it is. Thanks.

This is on OSX 10.9.3 MAC Pro
Pages version 5.2
I'm sorry I do not know how to determine the format of the chart. It was sent to me in the body of an email...it was not an attachment. Is there a way for me to find that out?
I actually tried both ways...I copied just the chart & then I copied the whole body of the email that included the chart. Either way, the chart-lines/box did not paste. Only the text.
Thanks Peter! I'm somewhat new with MAC

When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
This does not happen in Safari.
(Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).

http://

Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.
